Most buds on this unknown bagseed seem like they have way too many red pistils for only 5 weeks into flower. Don't think it hermied can't really tell tbh

Pistils redden prematurely die to genetics, or in low humidity or high heat. Trichomes are what count. Get a microscope for accurately gauging harvest

Possible Hermie? This is 2 diff ones, no trichs. Seems like they all burned off from the nute burn. Who knows. My good seeds supposedly will be here in a week. Peyote critical, blue dream, super silver haze, and some others. It's been test runs up until now. Hope ilearned enough. One thing I learned first hand, LESS is truly more in this art.

I agree with this and also watch calyx swell.

Pollination can cause this however if there was enough pollen to hit every hair then it would be pretty obvious IMO.

These babies are in an enclosed greenhouse or in a fenced area. I guess there could be males anywhere but I doubt they were pollinated. How the hell do I know :x either way I'm salvaging the plant, to smoke or give me sister to make edibles.

Just let it grow, if it was pollinated you will know. Do you have other plants? They would have been pollinated too, so if you have others and they aren't effected you are good. I highly doubt it's pollination.

After looking at the pics again I think the cause is environmental. I saw some hairs that just the tips are brown. Perhaps a temperature or humidity drop?

Indeed they've had a rough life. My grow tent will be here tomorrow, it's hard to grow these without control. Light control, down pours, heat draughts. I live in Fl. This winter will be way better , for my next grow.
